Christmas Snowflake From Recycled Paper Rolls

Would you like to turn something ordinary into something incredible? Well, today I’ll show you how to make a beautiful, eye-catching Christmas decoration using nothing but leftover toilet paper rolls.

Can you make a beauty snowflake from ordinary paper rolls?

Let's get started!

Recycled Roll Papers

Glue

Gold and Silver Spray Paint

Pencil

Cutter

Leftover toilet paper rolls are usually thrown away immediately, but there are creative ways to reuse these empty cardboard tubes. In this Instructable, I will show you how to make a snowflake using just these everyday materials that can be transformed into great creations.

Take one section of the roll and use your fingers to make a perpendicular fold; then, make the same perpendicular fold on the opposite side, as shown in the images.

Once you have a flattened piece, draw a template that closely resembles a snowflake; look up snowflake references online and focus on their patterns and tips.

You can use a soda cap or a ruler to get more defined results.

Run tests and experiment to see how you can achieve an iconic and eye-catching design.

Using the cutter, remove the sections marked in the design to achieve a more authentic snowflake shape.

Repeat the process 12 times—folding and cutting.

Using the hot glue gun, form an inverted T shape and place another of the pieces against that face; apply light pressure to ensure a better bond.

Glue each piece on one after another, and continue in this way until all 12 figures are complete.

You can glue the pieces in groups of four. Allow sufficient drying time to prevent peeling.

Stretch out the entire resulting piece and join it to the remaining side. shaping it into a circle.

Once the circular shape is finished, you can place a soda metal cap to conceal the central radial point.

For a finer, more elegant finish, you can coat the resulting snowflake with gold or silver paint.

You can try out unique snowflake shapes that come to your mind.

You will obtain different results each time, and with every change of the template

geometric or even organic shapes.
